It's often necessary to test individual patches sent to a mailing list. Patches that are real attachments are trivial to download and merge. However, sometimes the patches are stored inline, in the message body, which makes thing slightly more difficult. If you're running Mozilla Thunderbird, you export emails containing inline emails as mbox file using ''!ImportExportTools'' add-on. These can then be applied to a git repository using ''git am <mbox-filename>''.
